I’m guessing there were three authors on this study, based on the “human” dots
Piss off!

All of them exactly 5 large, but with pee between 20 and 80 jetty.

I wonder which author has the Mastiff
HowAbt2morrow@futurology.today 3 weeks ago
Mastiff been the biggest of the three authors.

how are we quantising water shape (droplet vs jet)? Is it amount of pee generated/unit amount of time or something similar?

Reminds me of a school trip to a zoo when I was young where every animal relieved themselves while we were watching. It became a running joke. The elephant was my favorite.

I could piss stronger than a cicada.
nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 3 weeks ago
That cicada is one massive fucker, I get why the wee-wee is strong in this one.

It’s actually about as Small as a cow is Large, according to this graph.

The strongest urinators are cicadas, but there’s other animals that score higher on the Jet Shape? I guess ~100 Jet Shape must be peak then and everything higher than that is actually a weaker form of urination.

Hey, do you want to watch some pissers? www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KBL7HHd1-o

I guess I didn’t notice any cicada pee last time. The air was so thick with them it was affecting everybody’s mental health though. If i had noticed pee i would’ve just assumed it was a hallucination

Cicadas have nothing on the spotted lantern fly.
You want something disgusting and pisser of the animal kingdom pick the one that makes it look like it’s pouring only under trees, and it attracts wasps.woodenghost@hexbear.net 3 weeks ago
But what’s even on the y-axis? Aspect ratio? X is probably weight?
Comment105@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
I’m guessing shape is about the number of interruptions in the stream.
Ruthalas@infosec.pub 3 weeks ago
The labeling on those axes is horrific. A human is apparently about 7 units of “Large” on the “Size” axis, and can piss around 110 units of “Jet” on the “Shape” axis.
What is 7 units of Large Size you wonder? Fuck you.
What is 110 units of Jet Shape you ask? Hell if we know. You sure aren’t going to.
Sas@beehaw.org 3 weeks ago
Also not to forget according to this a cow is more than 10 times as large as a human
Comment105@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
And a bit smaller than a dog, slightly larger than a cat.
Did these scientist observe and document a pissing toddler?
flora_explora@beehaw.org 2 weeks ago
With one data point as sample size, it could have been a baby, a huge bodybuilder or anything. Same goes for the
humancow. All of this isn’t reliable data and we shouldn’t even discuss it here.tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
I mean, humans are about 150 or 200 freedom units, and various breeds of cow weigh 10x that or more
Scubus@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I feel like the three humans and dozens of cicadas are probably skewing the results as well.
